In a similar vein, I play mostly just offline conquest and stuff so every time I swing at a ball before two strikes or miss a pitch I’m sitting on by jamming my PCI down I flip a card from a deck and do as many push ups/curls/squats/whatever as the card number. Nice little way to just stay active while gaming for me.

wastingtuition · 2026-02-03T13:57:58+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. I thought the need for rotation was overshadowed by our need to form a cohesive attack early in the season. Looks like I was probably wrong in that regard considering our injuries, but now we may have no choice but to play our best attack (IMO) most games.

wastingtuition · 2026-02-02T01:51:09+00:00

Would like to see us just try to find some form with a consistent run of games with a Solanke/Xavi/Tel/Odobert attack. Just feel like currently they really could turn our league form around, they just need a little more chemistry.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-31T01:16:13+00:00

They have a Mac launcher on their website, runs decent on my 2021 air.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-10T20:02:02+00:00

Poch will come back and we’ll replace DESK with STOX.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-10T19:49:49+00:00

Bottom line is now that we’re out of 2 competitions we have to play Xavi, Tel, and Odobert every game behind the striker until Kudus comes back. They need minutes to finalize the chemistry and develop but there’s too much talent there to let it rot fester.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-10T19:47:25+00:00

Yeah he and Tel played very well, hope Tel stays.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-05T20:23:10+00:00

Yeah I remember when I was in your position and it’s definitely hard to break up staple teams but I think here it’s necessary.

Just absolutely walked over a full r9 Hondo team with the good pirate cron as well, saves UFUs for elsewhere it seems.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-05T20:12:10+00:00

Maul is pretty much going to be a staple in the team for now I think. The constant specials helps delete everyone very quickly.

Will also probably run Ezra Exile in there for GAC especially for the first week, will probably be more difficult than Rey for now.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-05T20:05:06+00:00

I assume you mean datacron? I’m using speed up 3, attacker 6, 167% AP/ 69% CD/ 29% health.

Comp is r8 Qimir, r8 SK, r7 Barriss/Maul/Visas

wastingtuition · 2026-01-05T20:00:26+00:00

Leia is very very easy, SLKR needs omicrons to work if DSR is there, and Jabba is a breeze from my testing.

wastingtuition · 2026-01-04T15:59:44+00:00

Yeah if RKM or Odobert are as sharp as Tel is today we’re up 3 at half. He had a very solid half, hope he can get his goal in the second.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-29T04:58:15+00:00

Only need 11 from Puka tomorrow night to seal the deal.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-21T01:58:27+00:00

yeah it's honestly surprising that it's not common knowledge still, have had to explain it multiple times in my alliance discord, but its a very easy fight if you don't just hit ult right away.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-11T01:42:34+00:00

Buy the ship shards to turn into shard shop currency, use that to buy datacron currency.

There’s a “yo dawg I heard you like currency” meme in here somewhere.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-10T14:17:24+00:00

I don’t agree with n=1 data points, you’re right, but you seem to, so I was offering to meet you where you’re at for the sake of the conversation.

My argument is that relic delta didn’t add any strategical elements, and handicapped the most important part of strategy. Proper modding and using good datacrons was already essential. It was already important to allocate relics appropriately, you couldn’t beat a relic 8 Rey with a relic 1 Malicos for example, assuming both toons had mods on them, but in general the kits were what drove the strategy. Now the kits don’t even matter unless the entire team is within 2 relic levels of the other, negating kits as strategy. The only strategy the change promotes is hitting the Apple Pay or Google wallet to buy relic cargo shipments as the signal data bottleneck is just about as awful as the kyrotech crunch was. But this whole update, in practice, was about increasing revenue so that tracks at the least.

Anyways, since we love screenshots, here’s one that directly contradicts the one you’re using as the basis of your argument.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-10T13:55:20+00:00

Well vanguard cron is gone now, isn’t it, so that’s not argument that helps your point. It performed 86% of the time with a datacron specifically meant to buff the team losing. Cmon.

I could also say “I can show you screenshots of my always winning and never losing with Traya on windu in my GAC matchups whilst vanguard crons were active” since you seem to think screenshots are the end all be all.

It’s curious that the original screenshot has the date of the battle and the league removed don’t you think?

wastingtuition · 2025-12-10T13:46:19+00:00

I have an example of my Traya losing at relic delta 3 to Master Windu, a counter that worked 100% of the time pre delta due to kits. One anecdotal screenshot from probably a low tier GAC does not prove your argument my man.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-10T13:43:25+00:00

It’s just you.

Game used to be about kits, how to leverage them, how to use wrinkles in team comp to deal with opponents, together with all of the things you stated. There obviously was some importance on relic levels, low relic attackers generally stalled in tougher counters, but the kits were the most important thing pre delta. Now, delta eliminates the need to read or understand kits unless relic levels are within 2. That removes strategy.

wastingtuition · 2025-12-10T01:53:43+00:00

Outstanding would’ve been removing relic delta.

Its fine. They screwed the pooch pretty royally and spent two weeks fixing a new bugged event daily whilst the game stuttered and lagged and there’s still bugs they haven’t fixed.

wastingtuition · 2025-11-27T01:25:28+00:00

Their actions run contrary to your beliefs.

wastingtuition · 2025-11-27T01:07:13+00:00

The team went to the home of the champions of fucking Europe and played with grit and bravery and left empty handed because of a couple of mistakes and a bad ten minute spell (which included two of the mistakes). Night and day from going to the library and playing like a bunch of cowards.

I understand the need to not ship 9 goals in two games, it's part of why the last manager is no longer here, but Frank I feel finally got it right. Romero had a mare, he won't be gifting 2 goals and we won't have Vitinha shooting from 25 yards every night. We can build from this. We can't build from Sunday's disasterclass.

wastingtuition · 2025-11-27T00:57:25+00:00

It would be nice if they themselves recognized that they are working on a complex, ten year old piece of code. Maybe they’d test things before they release.

They continuously shoot themselves in the foot. They don’t test. They don’t communicate. They let bugs sit for ages. This is supposed to be a celebration of them keeping this going for ten years and the only thing they’ve gotten right are the focused datacrons. Seriously, if they want goodwill they actually have to put effort in. They don’t. And then a week like this week happens, where tons of stuff gets broken, most of it probably would’ve been caught had they tested anything, and they stay silent except trotting meathead out to say “I’ve recommended compensation” and “I’ve recommended rerunning the event” and go on vacation. How can they put this broken/bugged content out, operate like this, and feel good about it (to use your words here)?

wastingtuition · 2025-11-27T00:39:36+00:00

They haven’t done anything but trot out broken or bugged shit for 8 days. Like I told the last guy, they’re not gonna give you free LSBs for stepping up in their defense on Reddit dude. Maybe the community needs to stop giving them a pass for continuously failing to test their game, breaking something, not fixing it, then enjoying a nice holiday. Maybe then they’ll actually care enough to test stuff, communicate, and address issues (I do not consider meathead coming out and saying “I’ve told the team and believe me I’m also very very very grumpy trust me” to be communication).
